If only we had a quantum computer...
we start brute forcing in the middle of all the possibilities. In the exact middle that is. So if a key is 32 bits we factor a key that has the decimal value 16. Then we divide by two and factor decimal 8, at the same time we multiply by two and examine decimal 32, next is decimal 64 but since that is out of bounds we start dividing only now we divide by three (if dividing caused crossing the upper bound we will round down if dividing caused crossing the lower bound we round up and then multiply), if by dividing we cross the lower bound we simply multiply by 3, 4 then 5 etc. so:try(0F)thentry(08)try(FF)thentry(04)try(0A)thentry(02)try(03)thentry(06)try(01)

If OTCalc is succesful, we need to put some of it at least towards making even better, cheaper ones. cray supercomputers wouldn't be that much more powerful than making a big old beowulf cluster.Here's a cool idea: Borrow a school for a day, boot beowulf off a flash drive or network on every computer, as a node. Giant supercomputer cluster without installing.

Well, most of the profits. We must reinvest. ;-)
